Today Apple has announced iPhone XR, which integrates the revolutionary technologies of iPhone XS in an all-screen design in glass and aluminum, available in six beautiful colors, and boasts the most advanced LCD ever seen on a smartphone with Liquid Retina display of 6, 1 “. iPhone XR has the powerful Bionic A12 chip with Neural Engine of a new generation, dual TrueDepth camera, Face ID and an advanced camera system that creates extraordinary portraits using a single lens. iPhone XR can be pre-ordered starting from Friday 19th October and will be available in stores from Friday, October 26th.

“iPhone XR allows us to meet the taste of even more users by offering the latest innovations of the iPhone. Integrates state-of-the-art technologies, including the 6.1 “Liquid Retina display that extends from one corner of the phone to the next, the latest TrueDepth camera with even faster Face ID authentication, the new A12 Bionic 7-chip nanometers with second-generation Neural Engine and a 12-megapixel camera for photos in portrait mode with light effects, “said Philip Schiller, Apple’s Worldwide Marketing Senior Vice President. “The new iPhone XR has a spectacular glass and aerospace aluminum shell with an IP67 grade liquid and dust resistance and a battery that lasts all day and is available in six beautiful colors.

New revolutionary design

Thanks to the spectacular all-screen design, the iPhone XR’s display extends from one end of the phone to the other. The front glass is the most resistant ever seen on a smartphone and is elegantly combined with an anodized profile made of sturdy 7000 series aluminum, while the rear glass allows wireless charging.

iPhone XR is available in six new colors: white, black, blue, yellow, coral and (PRODUCT) RED. The seven-layer paint allows you to give the rear glass precise shades, while the aluminum profile and the camera are of the same color, to add a touch of sophistication. The new design is resistant to splashes and water with an IP67 rating and is impervious to common sketches of coffee, tea, and soft drinks.

Part of the proceeds from the sale of the iPhone XR PRODUCT (RED) will be donated directly to the Global Fund for the fight against HIV / AIDS to financial advisory services, diagnosis, and treatment, as well as prevention programs and particularly aimed at eradicating the transmission of the virus from mother to son.

The most advanced LCD ever seen on a smartphone

The beautiful 6.1 “Liquid Retina display ensures the highest color accuracy in the industry and supports a wide color range and True Tone for more natural colors. The glass processed with the utmost precision, the advanced pixel masking and the sub-pixel anti-aliasing allow the display to follow the curves of the device, while the new design of the backlighting system allows the display to reach the corners.

Phone XR supports the fast and smooth gestures of the iPhone, for example just a tap to reactivate the device and you can scroll up to access the Home screen or down to bring up notifications and the Control Center. The new touch function lets you press the Home screen to instantly activate the camera or flash.

A new Bionic A12 Chip and Neural Engine

Designed by Apple, the A12 Bionic is the most intelligent and powerful 7-nanometer chip ever seen on a smartphone, offering industry-leading performance in an even more energy-efficient design. The Bionic A12 chip has a six-core Fusion architecture with two high-performance cores that are up to 15% faster, four high-efficiency cores that are up to 50% more efficient, a four-core GPU that is up to 50% more snappy, a powerful ISP (Image Signal Processor) processor designed by Apple, video encoder and more. Thanks to all this, playing games, taking photos, editing videos and using pp apps that make intensive use of the graphics processor will be even more dramatic, with no compromise in terms of battery: iPhone XR has up to an hour and a half of autonomy more than the iPhone 8 Plus.

The new generation Neural Engine uses an advanced machine learning model for everything from photography to augmented reality. Thanks to the new eight-core design, it can complete up to 50 trillion operations per second compared to the 600 billion A11 Bionic chip, speeding up the plane detection operations for ARKit and enabling new functions that use machine learning in real time. For the first time, the Neural Engine integrates the Core ML framework, allowing developers to create apps that use this highly efficient machine learning engine. The Core ML on the Neural Engine of the A12 Bionic chip is up to nine times faster than on the A11 Bionic chip, consuming only one-tenth of the energy.

Face ID, the safest facial authentication system ever seen on a smartphone

Face ID on the iPhone XR is faster, thanks to software optimizations and a more snappy secure enclave. The TrueDepth system uses a technology that accurately detects depth, offering far superior functionality and security to two-dimensional face scanners to unlock iPhone, use Apple Pay, securely access apps and many other functions with just a glance.

Evolved single-lens wide-angle camera

iPhone XR has a 12-megapixel camera with wide-angle lens, aperture f / 1.8 and a brand new sensor that ensures a faster focus, while the wider and deeper pixels improve image fidelity and yield in low light in the photos and in videos. Improvements to the ISP processor, Neural Engine and software algorithms allow you to create portraits with a beautiful bokeh effect. Smart HDR technology further defines the effects of light and shadow in photos.

Thanks to the new depth control, users can adjust the depth of field during and after shooting to create stunning portraits with a beautiful bokeh effect. Selfies will be even more beautiful thanks to the Portrait mode improved for the TrueDepth front camera and the portrait lighting mode that allows you to play with light like in a real photo studio.

Wireless technologies

iPhone XR uses LTE Advanced technology that guarantees high download speeds⁴ and introduces the Dual SIM⁵ through the use of a nano-SIM and a digital eSIM.

With iOS 12

iPhone XR includes iOS 12, the most advanced mobile operating system in the world. iOS 12 changes the way iOS users see the world thanks to augmented reality. It helps to rediscover and share photos and makes communications even more expressive and fun with new Animoji and Memoji. The “Usage Time” function helps users control and manage the time they spend using their iOS devices, while Siri’s quick commands allow any app to work with Siri. In addition, new privacy features help protect against web attacks.
